Customizing the PrestaShop Home Page

One of the first questions many new PrestaShop users have is how to edit and customize the PrestaShop home page. The full installation of PrestaShop includes sample products and pages along with sample content for your PrestaShop home page.

PrestaShop uses modules that are placed with "hooks" to create pages in your PrestaShop site. A good analogy is to think of hanging pictures on a wall. Each of the modules is like a picture and the "hooks" are where the pictures (modules) will hang.

The PrestaShop home page is divided into five areas which is comprised of one or more hooks in each area:

Top of pages

Left column

Home page text

Right column

Footer

The Header logo is not controlled by modules and hooks like the other areas. The PrestaShop header logo is controlled under Modules > Themes in your PrestaShop back office.

The information is incorrect or out-of-date.
It does not resolve the question/problem I have.
